3 FOURTH SUNDAY of LENT March 27, 2022 PASTOR S MESSAGE Dear Parishioners and Friends of Holy Family Parish, This weekend we celebrate what is called Laetare Sunday. Laetare Sunday, the Fourth Sunday of Lent, takes its name from the Latin word which begins the entrance antiphon (introit) for that day.laetaremeansrejoice, and this Sunday is marked by a relaxation of the penitential character of the Lenten season. On this Sunday, we look with expectation to the great Solemnity of Easter for which we have been preparing ourselves as a Church during the Lenten season. By its anticipation of the joy of Easter, Laetare Sunday is meant to give us hope and encouragement as we slowly progress towards the Paschal Feast. On both Laetare Sunday and Gaudete Sunday (the Third Sunday of Advent), a priest may wear rose vestments. The color rose is used as a sign of the joy which characterizes these two Sundays. The use of rose vestments probably stems from an ancient papal tradition of blessing golden roses which would be sent to Catholic heads of state in Europe on the Fourth Sunday of Lent. There was a medieval tradition of visiting one s mother church (the church where one was baptized) on this day. A family trip to see where mom and dad or the children began their journey of faith couldmake for a fine Sunday afternoon outing! If it was a far distance away, perhaps you can look for pictures that were taken. Maybe you could look for the baptismal gown, candle or other items used at the celebration. This weekend, we are celebrating the second scrutiny for those preparing for the Sacrament of Baptism this Easter. They will share with us the honor to call our parish their mother church. With my prayers, Fr. Ryan CRS Rice Bowl DRIVEN BY A DREAM Malnutrition is widespread in Rwanda, but Gloriose and her husband are doing everything they can to keep their children healthy and set them up for success. From learning to grow a kitchen garden to participating in a micro savings group, Gloriose and Karekezi know it takes many resources to help their children thrive. How have you helped others access what they need this Lent? Visit crsricebowl.org to learn more. CRS Plato de Arroz IMPULSADOS POR UN SUEÑO La desnutrición está muy extendida en Ruanda, pero Gloriose y su esposo Karekezi están haciendo todo lo posible para mantener a sus hijos sanos y prepararlos para el futuro. Ellos saben que se necesitan muchos recursos para ayudar a sus hijos a prosperar, por eso han aprendido a cultivar un huerto y hasta participaron en un grupo de ahorros. Cómo has ayudado tú esta Cuaresma a otras personas a tener acceso a lo que necesitan? Visita crsplatodearroz.org para obtener más información. MENSAJE DEL PASTOR Estimados feligreses y amigos de la Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia, Este fin de semana celebramos el llamado Domingo de Laetare. El Domingo Laetare, el Cuarto Domingo de Cuaresma, toma su nombre de la palabra latina que comienza la antífona de entrada (introito) para ese día. Laetare significa alegría, y este domingo está marcado por una relajación del carácter penitencial del tiempo de Cuaresma. En este domingo miramos con expectativa la gran Solemnidad de Pascua para la que nos hemos venido preparando como Iglesia durante el tiempo de Cuaresma. Por su anticipación de la alegría de la Pascua, el domingo de Laetare está destinado a darnos esperanza y aliento a medida que avanzamos lentamente hacia la Fiesta Pascual. Tanto el domingo de Laetare como el domingo de Gaudete (el tercer domingo de Adviento), un sacerdote puede usar vestimentas rosas. El color rosa se utiliza como signo de la alegría que caracteriza estos dos domingos. El uso de vestiduras de rosas probablemente proviene de una antigua tradición papal de bendecir rosas doradas que se enviaban a los jefes de estado católicos en Europa el cuarto domingo de Cuaresma. Había una tradición medieval de visitar la "iglesia madre" de uno (la iglesia donde uno fue bautizado) en este día. Un viaje familiar para ver dónde mamá y papá o los niños comenzaron su viaje de fe podría ser una excelente salida de domingo por la tarde! Si estaba muy lejos, tal vez puedas buscar fotos que se tomaron. Tal vez podría buscar la bata bautismal, la vela u otros elementos que se usaron en la celebración. Este fin de semana estamos celebrando el segundo escrutinio para los que se preparan para el Sacramento del Bautismo en esta Pascua. Compartirán con nosotros el honor de llamar a nuestra parroquia su iglesia madre. con mis oraciones, Padre Ryan FAMILY MILESTONES February 2022 CONGRATULATIONS & BLESSINGS!

(JOSHUA5:12) Over the forty years that the Israelites journeyed through the desert, God provided them with manna to eat. As soon as they were able to enjoy the fruits of the Promised Land the manna ceased. Likewise, God s blessings to us may change over the years but it is important to trust that God will always provide us with all that we need. REFLEXIONES DE LAS ESCRITURAS SOBRE LA MAYORDOMÍA DE CUARESMA Ya no hubo más maná para los Israelitas, que ese año comieron del rendimiento de la tierra de Canaán. (JOSUE 5:12) En los cuarenta años que los israelitas viajaron por el desierto, Dios les proporcionó el maná para comer. Tan pronto como fueron capaces de disfrutar de los frutos de la Tierra Prometida dejaron de recibir el maná. De la misma manera, las bendiciones de Dios para nosotros pueden cambiar a través de los años, pero es importante confiar que Dios siempre nos proveerá de todo lo que necesitamos. For details regarding baptisms, quinceañeras, weddings, and annointing of the sick, please call HFP Parish Center at Ext 101, Jennifer, or Ext 102, Rocio, Thank you.

5 SAINT LADISLAUS HOLY FAMILY PARISH A Sunday Reflection by István Horváth March 27, 2022 [The Father] said to him, My son, you are here with me always; everything I have is yours. But now [it is just] to celebrate and rejoice, because [he whom is] your brother was dead and has come back to life again; he was lost and has returned. Lk 15:3132 Which son do we identify with? We like to think that we are the older son, but when taken to task, we act like the younger. We agree to our wages as the workers in the field, but when those that arrive late get the same deal, we are indignant and upset and vengeful. Mt 20:115 We feel treated unfairly, when our higherups praise those over us, whom have done little or nothing, while we make things happen. Or siblings that come visit now and then, bring a useless gift of forgiveness, are praised by the same parent, who we have been faithfully attending. It s hard to see the justness in God s actions when you are looking for justice. Because God is not justice of just any sort, He is justness of every sort. He is loving in every moment that man wants to do right. That is why heaven rejoices for the one lost soul that is saved, even though 99 remained righteous. Lk 15:7 Few of us associate with the younger prodigal son, yet there were and are times that we could have easily been him. Do we truly follow God s Commandments or do we pick and choose depending on the day of the week and the situation at hand? Is it not easier to be part of the bad boys club, than to do the right thing? Why sure it is. How many times do we answer as Peter did, I do not know the man! Mt 26:74, so we don t have to face others surprise, bewilderment or scorn for being Catholic? It s just easier to avoid bringing attention to ourselves for such virtuous things, because nothing is virtuous and holy or sacred anymore. It s comfortable! Everything around us is gray. If you try to make it black or white, it is an affront to those that don t believe. For them, it is okay to make you uncomfortable, but not the other way around. So, what do good Catholics do: they leave it gray, because then it won t offend anyone. They hear people say, don t judge Mt 7:2, but what those people are really saying is don t condemn my sin and sinfulness. That is exactly the opposite of what God has asked us to do by His Commandments. You are to judge between right and wrong, between sin and righteous behavior, between good and evil. As Christians, we are to judge our actions and those of others, but not the person that commits those actions: for it is not you, nor God, but their sin that will condemn them. Jn 5:45, Mt 13:41, Proverbs 17:15 But then, it will be uncomfortable. It will be a sacrifice to live His word, and it will be quite apparent that you are not like others; it will be rather obvious that you are Catholic. PROJECT IMT CORNER Cesar Chavez was a Mexican American labor worker that fought for equality for Latinos and farm workers. Thursday, March 31st is Cesar Chavez Day, a day we celebrate his birthday and the legacy & impact he had in the American Civil Rights and Labor Movement.
